Hi,
For a start the thme you are trying to apply is not designed for your phone.
Edit: the reason it is giving you errors is that the theme you are trying to install is a theme that needs to be flashed from recovery. metamorph will only handle files that were designed for iit.

[themes] cyanogen/freex10/tmr based roms testers wanted.

New thread has been started now guys, thanks to everybody's help and support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948701
See post 54/56
Right Guys,
For those now running cyanogen on there x10's, they maybe aware that some themes from other models of phone will fit our x10, i have been in touch with a xda developer SicNside of the droid Eris phone whose 2 of his themes i have used. If there is much interest he has messaged me saying he is willing to port the themes over to us and to support us, can those interested please post and also any of you willing to test as he has not got a x10 phone.
I have posted some pics of one of his themes which i tried yesterday and i am sure you will like, i have also provided the link for Eris thread.
The zips are flashable by xrecovery/custom zip install, please do the following..
*Always make sure you have a backup using xrecovery*
Copy zip to sd/card, go into cyanogen settings/user interface/tweaks extra and reset to default.
Go into xrecovery wipe dalvik-cache and install custom zip (FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3 ), reboot phone.
Please then do the following..go into cyanogen settings/user interface/tweaks extra and select a theme and choose froshedyov10-reboot your phone and thats it.
On the the lock screen there is background to a logo that is bieng looked into at the moment and a solution will be found.
Please give your support guys, i do not want any credit for SicNside's work but he is willing to share so can you pass on your thanks to him.
I will share this thread with him once up and running so he can then start porting-cheers.

UPDATE.......
Those having problems with cyanogen settings not working flash the cyanogen settings update zip with xrecovery and please remember some setting changes only work after a reboot.
Those having issues with the grey bar in the lockscreen, it is nothing to do with the theme it is the version of cyanogen you are using on your phone, i re-flashed with this one and it did the trick.......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
The HW button lights not working, phone settings/display/brightness un-tick auto.
Reserved for future use..
I really like the Lucid theme, if he ports that to the X10 I would test it out.
Nice theme. Would like to try given that my pc gets back from repair in time.

Give it a try mate, as long as you are running cyanogen on your phone you will be ok, just follow the instructions on the first post and get the theme from sicNside's thread, again the link is in the first post, wallpapers and extras are also in his thread.

Hi sniperbag,
I have tried the gingerbread (GB FroyoEris-CM6.2), it is in 2 versions and the FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3, the only issue with the froshed is the lock screen, have look at the screen shot, it has left a grey background where he had a logo, it has been mentioned to sicnside and he will look into it when he recieves my pm(time zone differance).
Give it a try i think you will like.

I can't even see, which bug you mean. For me it looks fine. Ok, I'ma gonna try the Gbread ones.
Hey fellas, im glad you like the themes. And when I get off work later ill start decompile some roms to port the themes. But I need to know which cyanogenmod roms you guys want the themes on. And ill post them up here for testing. Also if the versions for CELB work let me know how the sizing of things are looking because I think the two phones has a big difference in resolution

Hi,
Nice to hear from you, we are currently running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 with froyo base, i have tested the FroyoEris gingerbread and that worked fine, i will test the CELB in a while and edit this post to let you know the result.
The FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3 works ok, but as for the lock screen problem i had, another member never, so i do not know about that one.
We appreciate all your help and your sharing, i am sure more will get involved as you post, if you want to start a seperate thread, please do by all means, it may be easier in the end, if you want to use this thread for testing for now thats fine too-thankyou.
EDIT....I have just installed GB CELB-4.1 - 4.3 and it works perfect, so the choice is yours my friend, seems like we may be lucky with the resolution, i will try and find out what x10 resolution is for you.

Sign us up!!
My Wife and I are both running Trip's CM6.1.1 on our x10's and would love to test these themes! ( Her small request....Pink n Black or Purple n Black theme... HEHEHE! ) Been waiting to see what came up on the Cyan ROM'S, we tried a theme from a nexus port last weekend and just got in a boot loop. NO GO.
Thanks and Best regards,
Chris
Works great so far. I'm loving it.
Thanks for sharing
Question(s):
1. Are you using launcher pro in screenshots?
I use ADW EX.. any tweaks for that?
2. Do we flash the froshed extras package with recovery?

The extras are not flashable zips they just contain things to extract to your sd card like docks for launcher pro, wallpapers and icons to use in the dockbar or to replace app icons using a icon replacement tools or launchers that have that option built in like adx ex. As far as adw tweaks you can use the icons but adw still does not allow you to use custom docks

Hello!
Can confirm, Frost for CM6 worked like a charm on Trip's 6.1.1CM, dropped the loaded version with themed apps, and DID wipe D cache first, no problems!! Looks very sweet!!
Will try more tomorrow!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Theme (Request?)

Hi I am looking to build a Samsung Galaxy S rom for the X10 and I really can't find a theme exactly like the Galaxy S for the X10. Can someone please show me where it is if there is one.
I really need everything like the Galaxy S:
Status bar, menus, settings menu, phone, contacts, sms and other apps
Please all help is appreciated.
I am not a themer, if someone can theme it, I can definately reward you for it.
Thanks a lot!

I don't get it why do you request when you are building/porting a rom? To my understanding rom consists of the sense system apps. Sms e.t.c its not that easy to port but framework settings e.t.c should be done easily because its just. Pngs and xmls. If no one reply to you maybe i could help you with framework
No I am not porting. It is based on a 2.3 rom. I have the framework from a galaxy theme and when I build the framework-res.apk the rom does not boot.
I made sure all the folders were the same and everything.
Another thing I have to figure out is galaxy s livewallpapers not working with the rom. If I install the apks after the rom has booted it use any other rom, they work.
Thanks a lot for your input. I appreciate it.

U can't just replace framework,What do u want from framework?Lockscreen?
framework-res->lockscreen,battery.....
System UI->status bar,wifi notification....
Settings->icons of settings
I didn't try to change phone but u could try that too
for launcher use mine or fr4g0r's
icons->open .apk and find ic_launcher or icon and replace it
I could make lockscreen, notification bar for my rom but i don't like it so imade custom lock...

you have to change lcd dpi..use any root explorer to edit build.prop file. It's located in system folder of root..then edit default lcd dpi(which would be 160) to 161 & save..then restart & enjoy the themes.
